I am having a problem with my car when I take off from a stop. When I come to a complete and then start moving again it bogs down for a second then starts...
... Sounds a little like the IAC (idle air control valve) probelm I just read about. Do a search on the forums at www.usmb.net It may be 'fixable' by you but...
I was wondering if the subaru subwoofer fit in a 1997 OBS? will the mounting bracket attach in the right place? Also will it work with an aftermarket headunit...
Are the front brakes on the 99 Outback Sport the same as the front brakes on the 98-01 2.5 RS? I need to buy some brake pads, and most places I am looking do...
OK that was a dumb question. The brakes are indeed different between the OBS and the RS. Next question: anyone do a RS brake conversion on their OBS? If i buy...
I don't know whether you've looked at your brakes or not, but if you have twin piston front calipers (or your pads have a gap in the middle) then they are the...
If you're talking front you need: Calipers (and brackets which should come with them if you buy used) and pads (probably also come with them) and rotors. This...
I meant to ask this before when I was thinking about it, but anyway where exactly is the fuel filter? I haven't looked for it yet, but I don't recall having...
I am wondering if there is a separate washer fluid tank in the cargo area somewhere for the rear window washer. My windshield washer pressure is great, and the...
I don't think there is. But it is possible they changed it on later models. I know there is not on MY 97. Easiest way to tell would probably be to look at...
Hmmmm...Thanks Levi. As soon as it stops raining I'll take a look at this. I guess sometimes you just can't fight with gravity :-). TE ... later models. ... be...
I'm thinking about buying a turbo for my maybe next summer. Does anybody know where I can get one for a '97 outback sport and would I have to change the...
Levi is right, I have an 02 OBS and my reservoir is combined and located under the hood. Like he said check the pump. Hopefully the hose hasn't been clogged,...
Will do. Thanks Rod. TE ... located under the hood. Like he said check the pump. Hopefully the hose hasn't been clogged, this happens sometimes, something to...
I would like to know the 0-60 speed of the 5 speed outback sport in either 03 or 04 models.10 seconds is ridiculous as one of the magazines report. My legacy...
I haven't gotten the stop watch out, but my wife gets 30 to 31 mpg in her 03 obs. I just put on neew snow tires (dunlop m3's) and it seems to have gone down...
I'd say acceleration is somewhere between 8 and 9 seconds depending on the year, model, engine, and transmission, as well as any other modifications--intake,...
Well...there are not too many options for the 2.2 owners out there. What options do exist become incredibly expensive and most work needs to be custom tailored...
Ok, I am probably asking a couple of very stupid questions but would really appreciate a response... I have a 98 OBS 1. I am currently using Mobil 1 10w30 for...
Well, my wife and I both have 97' Imprezas, mine being an OBS. I have always used Mobil 1 in both. The last oil change I put Redline synthetic in there as...
I forgot I never answered about the oil filter. I personally just use whatever the best oil filter is wherever I am when I'm looking for one. So that's Mobil...
Hello all, I'm looking at buying a 2000 OBS from a private party. I have a few "newbie" questions for all the die-hards here: 1. It is an automatic (I really...
Oh--one more thing. Since it has 47K miles, I will be doing the 60K service in a year or so. How much does this usually cost, if you're doing plugs/wires and...
1. The auto is better than the 5spd as far as the AWD is concerned, and as near as I can tell the lack of "rowing the box and feeling sporty" is really the...
I agree with levi on all accounts...:) I have a 2000 OBS I bought last September. Mine is a 5MT. Frankly, I find the clutch operation to be a little too...
I don't really like engine braking when I'm on ice, especially with awd. We have a 03 obs with a stick, and it will humble most drivers who think they love to...
I think the best deal on oil filters is from subaru. even though they cost a bit more than Fram on sale at Wal-Mart, they are very good and come with a metal...
I forgot...:) About the price, you may also want to check out edmunds.com for their TMV (true market value) pricing. It customizes value based on your zip code...
I'm about to buy and install a sec. sys. on my new '04 OBS, but I read in the installation manual that the sec. sys. (same on Imprezas 2002-2004) does not...
